Mounting Supervisor on a WebFaction subdomain

In a previous post I mentioned that you could mount your supervisor process on a sub domain so that you could view and manage your Django and Nginx processes from a web browser. In this post I’m going to show you how to do this.

First of all I’m going to assume that you have a domain called mydomain.com setup on webfaction, and that your supervisor process is listening on an app called supervisor.

To access your supervisor status via a web browser you need to take the following steps:
1) Make sure you have a suitable sub-domain setup – you do this from the domain menu on the webfaction control panel (I usually use status.mydomain.com) :

Check your Domain

2) Create a new website which links the status subdomain and your supervisor app :

Create a new Website

3) browse to http://status.mydomain.com/ and enter the password and username we set-up in the supervisor configuration – you did remember to do that didn’t you? ;)

We recently spent some time trying to decide on a new web host, we had been using Fasthosts recently for our .NET hosting, but now we needed a Linux based host who supported Django. After a long search we finally settled on WebFaction and I have to say it’s some of the best hosting we have ever used. These guy’s really know their stuff and so far every question I have had has been answered in the FAQ or in the Forums without having to log a support ticket, you also get SSH, SFTP, and one click installs for things like wordpress, Django, Rails, etc.

In short what I’m really trying to say is that “WebFaction Rock!” and if you are in the market for hosting you should try these guys out.
